00:00It's a clear message from France, telling the United States to stay in line and keep
00:06away from internal issues.
00:09The country's Foreign Affairs Minister Jean-Noël Barraud has requested that U.S. Ambassador
00:14Charles Kushner be cut off from members of the French government.
00:19In light of this apparent failure to grasp the basic requirements of the ambassadorial
00:23mission and the honour of representing one's country, the minister has requested that he
00:28no longer be allowed direct access to members of the French government.
00:33The decision comes after the U.S. State Department's Counter-Terrorism Bureau put out a tweet in
00:38reference to the killing of a 23-year-old French far-right activist.
00:43The online post, which was retweeted by the U.S. Embassy in France, says that the United
00:48States will continue to monitor the situation regarding Quentin Durant's death and that it
00:53expects to see perpetrators be brought to justice.
00:56We refuse any exploitation of this tragedy, which has left a French family in mourning
01:04for political ends.
01:05We have no lessons to learn from the reactionary international.
01:10As for analyzing political life, the place of violence, and violence more generally, we
01:15serve up those insights ourselves with quite enough verve, and we will not allow others
01:20to serve them to us.
01:25Charles Kushner is the father of Jared Kushner, Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior advisor.
01:31He had already been summoned last year after sending a letter to French President Emmanuel
01:35Macron alleging that the country wasn't doing enough to combat anti-Semitism.
01:40He failed to show up to that meeting too.
01:44The Foreign Ministry has left the door open for reconciliation, saying that Kushner could
01:49still access its building should he want to hold the necessary diplomatic discussions.
01:55The Foreign Ministry fez
01:55Let me know what the wonderful possible questions happened.
01:557.
